"With infidelity, it’s not any particular sexual act that causes the most pain to the betrayed partner. It’s the loss of relationship trust that hurts the most."

"Sex addiction is not about sex, it’s about “losing oneself” in the fantasy-fueled pursuit of sex."

"Addictions are all about escape. Addicts aren’t trying to feel good, they’re trying to feel less."

"Digital devices can both foster and prevent genuine intimate connection."

As many of you know, I’ve got a new book out called Prodependence: Moving Beyond Codependency. Prodependence is the first new paradigm addressing the care provided to spouses, partners, and family members of addicts since the codependency model was developed 35 years ago. You can learn about the prodependence model in the book and on my prodependence.com website.
